Behind Schedule!

I was hoping to know my last three pens out tonight, but that didn't happen, and this one wanted to be a PITA!

A Gunmetal Zen Rollerball, dressed in a Red and Purple glitter acrylic resin blank from Roman Steichen at 3rd Gen Pen Shop & Sew Amusing.

The issues were with me, not the blank! Roman makes top tier blanks! I just didn't notice the micro pits from where glitter had been turned away until after I had finished my polishing and had dried polish stuck in them. It took a little work, but she's all cleaned up and looking very snazzy!

This will be up on my site soon.

Keeping myself on schedule of getting everything I wanna get done for this weekend turned! Some really nice ones here!

A Gunmetal Zen Rollerball, dressed in an awesome looking Neon colors and 3D printed honeycomb blank, by my good friend Jakob Jannsen at Jakob Jannsen Studios! This one came out absolutely amazing, as Jakob's blanks always do!

A Chrome Zen Rollerball, dressed in a Blue and White acrylic swirl blank from Roman Stiechen at 3rd Gen Pen Shop & Sew Amusing. The blanks that Roman produces are always top notch, and this one is no different!

Last, we have another Chrome Zen Rollerball, dressed in a Purple Sparkle DiamondCast acrylic blank by Tim McKenzie at McKenzie Penworks. Tim is another superb blank maker, who's blanks also never disappoint!

Two beauties tonight!

A Gunmetal Zen Fountain pen, dressed in a Clear and Green stabilized unknown burl from Jon Andrews at HeritageWoodworkz, and a high gloss CA finish.

A Chrome Zen Fountain pen, dressed in a Clear and Purple stabilized unknown burl, also from Jon Andrews at HeritageWoodworkz, and a high gloss CA finish.

Both of these, like last night's, came out amazing! These will be up on my site shortly!

Since today's craft show was a bust, I got home early and spent a cool evening in the shop! Squared up about 20 pens, and then cranked these beauties out! I really am loving these Zen kits, and am going to start keeping them as a mainstay on my table!

First, a Chrome Zen Magnetic Fountain pen, dressed in a Purple dyed stabilized piece of Curly Maple from Roman Stiechen at 3rd Gen Pen Shop & Sew Amusing. I know a certain someone who might like this one, besides me!

Next, a Gold Zen Magnetic Fountain pen, dressed in a beautiful piece of Black Walnut Burl. I don't remember if I got this at Woodcraft of Columbus or at Kiem Lumber, but it turned out amazing!

Next, we have a Gunmetal Zen Magnetic Fountain pen, dressed in an amazing looking piece of Mesquite Burl that I got from a hardwood dealer at one of the big pen maker's shows I went to a year or two ago. It finally spoke to me and it looks pretty darn nice on this kit!

Lastly, we have another Gold Zen Magnetic Fountain pen, dressed in a stunning piece of American Black Cherry Burl that I picked up last month from Bob Blanford (RJBWoodturner on YT) at the Mid-Ohio Valley Pen Turner's Gathering. Thanks for the wonderful piece of Cherry, Bob!

These will all be listed on my site later tonight, and are available for purchase!

All set up at the Multi-Vendor Market at Trinway She Shed Sales, 3140 5th St in Trinway. Ohio. The weather may have scared some people away, but were still here until 6pm, weather permitting! Come out and help support the local small businesses that showed up!

Sorry for just now posting these! Never fully got cords unpacked from last weekend, so had trouble finding the cords to my photobox! Unfortunately, these are the only two that got made this week, but I have 25-30 on the bench, prepped and ready to go for this coming week!

First, we have a Chrome Trimline, dressed in a piece of Curly Maple, dyed with orange and yellow alcohol inks. This is the one we started on last Saturday night's live stream and didn't have the time to finish! I think it came out amazing!

Second, we have a Chrome Bolt Action, dressed in an America 250 label cast blank, made by Jason Rose at Speakeasy pen emporium & supply Co. Jason's blanks always come out beautifully! I have one more of these left, and I think will look amazing on a Gunmetal kit, if I can get my hands on one!

Both these pens will be up on my site shortly, and will be available today if you find your way out to Trinway She Shed Sales big Car & Craft Show today!
